The second city, Odense..

After a bit of a change of travel plans, namely instead of going to Copenhagen, which led to my friends and me taking a train down from Vordingborg to Odense , we finally made it up to Denmark's second city.This city was great and big one.I think there were many good places.
 I went and visitted different places with my friends . We took in the small, but interesting (and importantly, free) Viking museum. It was amazing to see the old Viking Ships.After that we wandered up to, the Old Town museum, which was sort of a living museum which contained a number of old houses from various periods in Danish history, and had a number of exhibits on life from the 16th century onwards, including a toy museum which had exhibits from the whole period. Also, we went to Hans Christian Andersen Museum.We saw Andersen’s special properties such as his books, pens, bed, razors,.. etc. I am sure that everybody around the world hears something about Andersen, and so I was very happy to have a chance to see his houses and the city where he lived.We went there last weekend and although the weather was not good, we  had a great time there. Moreover, we visited the old church in the city.I hope I will go to Odense again when the weather gets well. It is worth tos e and visit both the city and Hans Christian Andesen Museum.You should go if yuo haven’t do so...

A Nice Stroll in Copenhagen..



What a day.. It has been  approximately one month since ı came to Denmark. I spent all my times traveling with  my friends  around Vordingborg till last Tuesday. We did not have any class on Tuesday,so my  friend-Burcu and  I decided to go to Copenhagen. And , also that day our friend,  Tuğba would come to Denmark.Our plan was going to Copenhagen in the morning  and coming back with our friend ,Tuğba in the evening. We could do the same thing. We walked along the street and there were lots of people, shopping centers and restaurant.There were no car in the street,  I like it because people can walk and travel  in the way they want.No danger=) Burcu and I saw lots of different places and buildings. I saw ,of course, Andersen Square Travoli, City Hole,Church of the Holy Ghost, Copenhagen Square,  and Copenhagen Harbour. , City Hall Square, namely Hans Christian Andersen Square. If you travel in the Copenhagen, you should see Trovoli and Anderson Square. They all worth seeing and visiting.  And they all  were really terribly amazing. When I first  saw City Hole and Anderson Square, I had the impression that İt seemed huge and affective. There were lots of sculptures, figures and the models of animals both in the building and outside.Especially, there were great figures at the outside of the building. I think the figure symbolises power and justice. I entered in the building and took lots of pictures.Then, we walked around Church of the Holy Ghost. Although the church is not too big, it is pleasant. In the church, there were a host of figures,like angels,people and they were impressive.Also, Copenhagen Harbour was great and you should visit there if you have not done so, yet. When we went the harbour, all sea and harbour were frozen  and it looked like ice rink=)But it seemed still amazing. I am sure the harbour is much better in summer,, and I hope I will see all them in summer . Burcu and I like to take photos, and so both I took lots of photo of her and she took photos of me everywhere. And whenever we found higher place, like the edge of the square, in the street, we put our camera there and we both stayed across the camera without moving until it took our photos automatically. J we did like this ten or more times. At the one of them, an uncle saw us when we put our camera on the higher place and stayed without moving across it, he laughed and he looked at us  again and againJ Fortunately, we also laughed  and it was a great picture of us because of the uncle..  
 We will both remember this uncle whenever we look at our picture with a huge laugh on our faces. Then we  ate donuts together  and chatted  after traveling for four hours. We had a great time and enjoyed. It was around five o’clock  ,so we went to the central satation and began to wait for our friend, Tuğba, coming.After one hour, we met eachother and we  turned back to Vordingborg. Everything was great and  fine for us. We will go there again and again, and we will travel different nice places. I love Copenhagen =))
